Why are some athletes faster than others？ What are we trying to achieve with 'good' sprint technique？ Above all， how can we get faster？

In this sequel to the authors' popular book ' The Biomechanics of Training'， Goodwin and Cleather convincingly show why the thinking of all coaches interested in speed should start and end with a consideration of force production。

This book distills the last 30 years of sprinting related research to provide an easily digestible description of what is really happening when an athlete runs at top speed。 The authors focus on understanding the key drivers of performance， and on identifying the modifiable factors that should be the targets of training interventions。

Packed cover-to-cover with unique insights， this book is essential reading for anyone who is at all interested in running performance。
